Several Christians realize that we are living in the last days. We know this because
of the appalling and ever increasing things that are happening NOW: wars (Bosnia, Middle
East), rumors of war (Middle East), famines (Ethiopia, Somalia), pestilences (AIDS),
earthquakes in various places, murders (abortions), sexual immorality, self-centeredness,
rapes, theft, etc. Most of these problems are a result of breaking God's Laws or sins. As
I once heard, "Imagine if all the world kept just one of God's Ten Commandments! What
a different world we would live in!" Take for example, if everyone kept the command:
"Do not steal". Think about the result: no more locks, alarms, security guards
(to prevent theft) or anything else which keeps others out for fear of theft.
Many know that these are the last days for this and many other reasons. Once such
future indicator is the Bible passage from Matthew 24:14-15:
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto
all nations; and then shall the end come. When ye therefore shall see the abomination of
desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let
him understand:)
Almost all Bibles have this verse referenced to Daniel 9:27:
And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week
he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of
abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined
shall be poured upon the desolate.
Notice that the abomination of desolation is a precursor to what Jesus says, " and
then shall the end come." The end has not yet occurred.
This sets up the next couple of links. In order for there to be
sacrifices, there must be some sort of temple. And thus the link to the Third Temple. But
before a new temple can be built, it must be consecrated in the proper Levitical way and
thus the Red Heifer. Follow these links to learn more.
